At the critical moment, Liu Xunyi was in a hurry and wise, and he made a clever plan. Replacing the "head" with the "hand" not only saved Qiu Han's life, but also showed full sincerity for Zhao Yuan in front of Luo Tianjin, which can be called a double win, which is not ingenious.

What surprised Liu Xunyi the most was that he disobeyed Luo Tianjin's order without authorization, and instead of being punished at all, he didn't even scold him. Afterwards, Luo Tianjin and Xie Xuan didn't say a word about the matter as if they had lost their memory.

Although he was full of confusion, it was a good thing for Liu Xunyi after all, and he finally had no danger and was successfully resolved.

According to Zhao Yuan and Liu Xunyi's guess, Luo Tianjin, after receiving Qiu Han's severed hand, will definitely change his attitude towards Zhao Yuan, at least out of courtesy, he should also send someone to Danfeng Garden to invite Zhao Yuan to come over the mansion.

However, the truth is not as expected. For several days, everything was as usual in the Xianwang Mansion, and Luo Tianjin was as quiet as stagnant water, as if he had completely forgotten the matter of recruiting peace from the imperial court.

Even if Liu Xunyi reminded him "occasionally", Luo Tianjin was also vague, and he talked about him left and right in a few words, which made Liu Xunyi difficult to speak, so he could only be anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, Liu Xunyi didn't dare to rush too tightly, so as not to arouse suspicion.

is also tormented by Liu Xunyi, as well as Zhao Yuan, who is in Danfeng Garden, who does not think about tea and dinner every day, and is worried.

Although Shen Dongshan was warmly entertained and the scenery of Danfeng Garden was infinite, Zhao Yuan had no choice but to bear the emperor's order, and he had no leisure to eat, drink and have fun.

Until November 15, Zhao Yuan, who had been waiting for seven or eight days, finally couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart and decided to stop waiting for the rabbit, but to take the initiative to visit Luo Tianjin for the second time.

Moreover, Zhao Yuan has secretly made up his mind to be open and honest with Luo Tianjin, and treat each other frankly.

Today, the sky is clear and the wind is smooth.

In the morning, Zhao Yuan and his entourage walked on the bustling streets of Luoyang City, looked around the bustling market, listened to the shouting and shouting, and couldn't help but recall the danger of the imperial court and the suffering of the people.

"I don't know what year and month, my Great Song Dynasty will be able to recover the lost land and shine the rivers and mountains?" Zhao Yuan sighed, "One day, the Great Song Dynasty will be able to be as clear as today's Luoyang City, and the rivers will be as clear as today's Luoyang City, and the prosperity will be like a brocade, and Benhou will die without regrets." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I have known King Beixian for many years, and he is by no means a hard-hearted person who will not be saved when he sees death. Shen Dongshan said with relief, "There is a way that 'Jin Cheng goes, Jin Shi is open', as long as the adults are reluctant, I believe that King Beixian will be able to be moved by you and help the court tide over the difficulties." ”

"Oh, I hope so. ”

A sigh, full of worries about the country and the people, and the melancholy in my heart.

As they spoke, the group came to the gate of the magnificent Xianwang Mansion.

Since Shen Dongshan had sent someone to spread the word in advance, Xie Xuan led people to greet him outside the mansion at this time.

"Lord Zhao, Master Shen, the mansion master has been waiting for a long time, please come inside!"

"There is Lao Xie Second Master to greet you, please!"

The two sides have long been tacit about each other's intentions. Therefore, there was no extra greeting, Xie Xuan led them straight to the middle hall.

Today, Luo Tianjin, Yan Bugui, Deng Changchuan, Huang Yulang, Murong Bai, Deng Quan, Su Tang, Luo Qi, Liu Xunyi and other core figures of the Xianwang Mansion were all present.

What's more, Yeluqin and Xunqin were also invited by Luo Tianjin and were among them.

Just looking at today's pomp, it is not difficult to guess that Luo Tianjin has decided to make the matter of Zhao'an public, and the discussion is clear.

Accompanying Zhao Yuan, in addition to Shen Dongshan and his entourage, there were also Qin Wei and more than a dozen Golden Sword captains, and their momentum was also good.

Because Qiu Han's injury had not healed, and Luo Tianjin was quite dissatisfied with him, he stayed in Danfeng Garden today to recuperate.

A moment later, Xie Xuan led Zhao Yuan and Shen Dongshan into the middle hall.

Seeing this, a warm smile bloomed on Luo Tianjin's face, and he got up to greet him, "Lord Qincha has arrived, Luo has never been far away, and I hope to forgive my sins!"

Luo Tianjin directly revealed Zhao Yuan's identity, which surprised Yan Bugui and the others, who did not know the truth, and couldn't help but have a hint of scrutiny in their eyes when they looked at Zhao Yuan one by one.

"Lord Luo Mansion doesn't have to be polite, Zhao is cheeky and bothered, so the person who makes amends should be me. ”

"Huh! Lord Zhao is serious, please take a seat!"

After the greetings, the two sides sat down, and the hall fell into a dead silence again, and the atmosphere gradually became a little awkward.

"Ahem......"

Seeing that the two sides were silent, Shen Dongshan couldn't help coughing lightly, took the lead in breaking the deadlock, and bowed his hand to Luo Tianjin, "Lord Luo, Lord Zhao is here today to ......"

"I know the meaning of Lord Zhao's coming. Luo Tianjin waved his hand and pointed at Yan Bugui and the others, and said with a smile, "They are all the pillars of the Xianwang Mansion, and I summoned them together today, in order to open up their voices and brainstorm ideas, so as to give Lord Zhao a clear answer." ”

"That's great!"

Zhao Yuan's gaze swept over the Yan Bugui and the others one by one, and when he saw Liu Xunyi, his eyes changed slightly, but it was fleeting, and he did not let others notice anything unusual.

"Lord Zhao!" Luo Tianjin complimented, "It's a guest at the door, Luo is afraid that his words will be lost, so he bothers the Lord to personally explain the matter of recruiting them for them." I wonder what the adults think?"

"Of course!" Zhao Yuan smiled confidently and said loudly, "Actually, this official came to Luoyang City to convey his grace to the lord of the martial arts alliance at the behest of the emperor, hoping that the lord of Luofu can lead the martial arts heroes of the Central Plains to return to the great unification and serve the imperial court, I don't know what you think?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the Xianwang Mansion suddenly became wonderful, surprised, stunned, wary, and disdainful...... Each other is different, and each has its own thoughts.

For a while, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and no one rushed to answer.

"Of course, since the emperor has issued a decree, he will not let everyone contribute in vain. Zhao Yuan looked around at everyone and said confidently, "As long as the Lord of the Luo Mansion nods, the imperial court will give many rewards to every disciple of the Xianwang Mansion." These rewards are only available to the disciples of the Xianwang Mansion, and the disciples of other sects have no such opportunity. ”

"Oh?" asked Yan Bugui with interest, "I wonder what the reward is?"

"Then it depends on what you want?" Zhao Yuan said with a smile, "If you want to embark on a career and become an official in the court, the emperor will award you knights." If you don't want to be an official, the emperor will reward you with gold, silver, jewelry, and acres of mansions. Whether you want an official or money, this official can assure you that at least three generations of you can be prosperous and rich, and there is no shortage of food and clothing. ”

"Dare to ask Lord Zhao...... Liu Xunyi took advantage of the situation to speak, "If I wait for the imperial court to return to the imperial court, I don't know how the emperor will reward my family master?" After all, Yu Wenxiu's kind of scum in the rivers and lakes has been a 'martial arts candidate', and my family master can't be more shabby than him." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone showed curiosity, and even Luo Tianjin showed anticipation.

Zhao Yuan saw that things had taken a turn for the better, and couldn't help but show joy on his face, and hurriedly said, "This section can rest assured, with the talent and martial arts of the lord of Luofu, if he can return to the imperial court, he will definitely be reused by the emperor." To tell the truth, the Prime Minister once privately instructed that once the lord of Luofu enters the court, his position in the court must not be under his own officials, and he may even become an important minister under one person and above ten thousand. As for the so-called 'Wulin Hou', it is just a fictitious difference in name only, but in fact, Yuwen Xiu has no place in the DPRK at all. His official position was not enthroned by the emperor, but arranged by the Xifu without authorization, and it could not be compared with the lord of Luofu at all. ”

"Ask for money for money, and ask for officials for officials. Murong Bai groaned, "With such a generous condition, it must not be for nothing." I don't know if Lord Zhao can give us a word of truth, what is the intention of the imperial court to suddenly recruit peace?"

"People live in the world, who doesn't want to become famous and famous?" Zhao Yuan did not answer and asked, "Dare to ask all of you here, do you want to be in the rivers and lakes for the rest of your life? Don't you want to get a name? Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about future generations." After all, people in the rivers and lakes are always rootless, wandering around, and eventually they must find a place to settle down and live a down-to-earth life. ”

"Will the imperial court be so kind?" Deng Quan raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously, "Recruit us, just to give us a name?"

"Lord Zhao, all of you here are temperamental, and you like to talk quickly, I hope you don't go around in circles. Xie Xuan reminded, "If you don't make some things clear in advance, even if we accept the court's recruitment, I'm afraid it won't last long, and sooner or later there will be chaos." ”

"That makes sense. Zhao Yuan looked furious, nodded and said, "It's not a secret, the emperor suddenly ordered Zhao'an, in fact, it was because ...... At present, the imperial court is at the time of employing people, and the emperor is eager to seek talents. The Prime Minister knew that the heroes of the martial arts were all heroes with courage and insight, so he sacrificed his life to advise the emperor and proposed a strategy to recruit peace, in order to expand the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty and protect the rivers and mountains of the Han people. ”

"Lord Zhao said that the great enemy is current...... Are you referring to the Mongols?"

"Exactly!" Zhao Yuan nodded heavily, "Now, half of the northern country has been occupied by the Mongols, once they raise their troops to the south, the Han people will face the danger of extinction of the country and the species, and they must be guarded against!"

"The Great Song Dynasty prides itself on being strong and strong, and dares to ask where are the soldiers and horses of the imperial court?" Yan Bugui asked, "Why don't they go north to resist the enemy?"

"This ......" Zhao Yuan was speechless for a while, he knew that the Great Song Dynasty had long been a foreign powerhouse, but at this moment, he couldn't tell him directly no matter what, so he replied euphemistically, "Although the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are brave, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and everything can happen, so ...... The more people who can fight well, the better, and the more the better. Most of the heroes in the rivers and lakes have extraordinary martial arts, and if they can go into battle to kill the enemy, they will be able to raise the prestige of our army with one hundred......"

"Heh!" Before Zhao Yuan's words fell, Huang Yulang suddenly let out a sneer, "Speaking of which, it turned out that I wanted the mansion lord to instigate the heroes of the world to die for you! ”

"This ......" Facing Huang Yulang's choking, Zhao Yuan was secretly taken aback, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

"It's a sure-fire deal. Deng Changchuan jokingly said, "First empty white teeth promised glory and wealth, and then before we got half of the benefits, you were sent to the battlefield to fight the Mongols for their lives." Who in the world does not know that the Mongol iron horsemen are brave and invincible? No matter whether we can defeat them or not, even if we can get away with the enemy, I am afraid it will be three or five years later. At that time, I am afraid that very few of us will survive. At that time, the crisis of the imperial court has been solved, and we have no use value, so we will unload the mill and kill the donkey, and the rabbit and the dog will cook. Take advantage of our weakness to catch us all. In the end, the external enemy has been resolved, and the internal troubles have been eliminated, and the imperial court can sit back and reap the benefits and enjoy the peace. ”

As for this, Deng Changchuan's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of murderous intent, staring at Zhao Yuan, who was frowning unkindly, and asked with a smile: "Back then, Emperor Taizu's 'cup of wine released military power', and he didn't even let go of his henchmen who followed him to fight the world. Lord Zhao, I don't know...... Am I right?"
